This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
I have cleaned up the history page slightly, but there are still POV (see WP:NPOV) problems, if not citation problems. Some of the problems that I see and may fix myself soon if no one gets around to it first:
-- Rballou 16:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I was a bit surprised that the proposed kit change was deemed as needing citation. In my soccer circles, that is accepted as conventional wisdom (though I don't care for the idea. I hope these ones stay and a green/white jersey is used for away. That'll solve the green issue.) -- Coryma 00:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I slightly reworded the Hankinson paragraph to make it sound less condemning. I think the less abrasive language can waive any need for citation as it is common knowledge among fans and supported statistically. --

Hi could you please put an external link for RapidMan's Official Website. RapidMan is the official mascot for the Colorado Rapids Major League Soccer Club. http://www.rapidman.com/
Could you please put it directly under the Official Team Website? Thanks--
Hey guys, about coach Fernando Clavijo. Um, I thought that he was Uruguayan (yet the article states he's american). - If Clavijo a) was born in Uruguay b)lived most of his life there and c) claims all the time to be proud of being Uruguayan and then American (dual citizenship), does that make him ...not Uruguayan? Im kind of confused as "what counts"? (IE: Is Wayne Gretzky American just cause he played there for a few years and decided to live there a few years ago?, cause we should change that article too then if he's american now)
While it is highly likely that the new kits and logo will be the speculated colors (as was leaked from a club supporters event), the new logo and information is still not yet official. Thus I believe it should be unchanged until an actual press release is made. The new kit edit can be found here [2]. Please add your thoughts if you believe differently. Quinn 33 03:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The move is warranted. See this link. -- Elliskev 19:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Someone should write something about the recent link-up between Colorado Rapids and Arsenal. Not sure of the details myself but I've heard that their name is changing to Colorado Arsenal... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.158.125.180 ( talk) 18:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
There has been a significant amount of volume that has been added to the article in the last few months. Much of this has resulted in redundant information and unnecessary clutter. The actual quality of the article has declined with many of these new additions. The history section is far too wordy and there are some other sections that need too be overhauled or completely removed. Accordingly I have tagged this article for cleanup. -- Quinn 33 ( talk) 19:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Your club doesn't yet have a 2009 Season article, we are hoping to get each of the MLS teams up and going like these; Sounders, Fire, Dynamo, Wizards, and TFC. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at anytime. Thanks Morry32 ( talk) 01:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

my name is kossi koudonou i love and i play soccer and im new here so i wanna know how can i do before i enter in your team my e-mail adress is k.fiacrekoudonou@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.44.139 ( talk) 06:27, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm pretty certain the link to the german head coach is for now completely unfounded and untrue? Not sure why its there

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Colorado Rapids's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
